Thinking about scrapping your old car in 2025? You might be surprised at how much it’s actually worth. With metal prices fluctuating and demand for reusable car parts increasing, scrap car prices in Kent have remained strong — making now a great time to cash in on that unused vehicle.

At Drs Car Parts in Sheerness, we buy and process vehicles daily, offering fair scrap prices and recycling thousands of quality parts to keep other cars on the road.

Here’s everything you need to know about scrap car values in 2025 and how to get the best return.

What Affects Scrap Car Prices in 2025

Scrap car prices can vary depending on a few key factors:

1. Vehicle Weight

Scrap yards pay based on the weight of your car. Heavier vehicles like SUVs and vans generally fetch higher prices because they contain more metal.

2. Make, Model & Age

Modern cars with reusable parts (such as alternators, doors, engines, or gearboxes) can increase your payout, as breakers can resell components.

3. Metal Market Prices

Global metal values fluctuate. When steel and aluminium prices are high, scrap car prices rise too.

4. Condition of the Vehicle

A car that still runs or has valuable components (like catalytic converters or alloy wheels) is often worth more than one that’s been standing for years.

5. Location

If you’re in Kent or Sheerness, local demand and transport costs can affect what you’ll get. Bringing the car directly to a trusted breaker like Drs Car Parts can often boost your quote.

♻️ Why Scrap Your Car with a Licensed Breaker

When scrapping your vehicle, always use an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) like Drs Car Parts. This ensures your car is dismantled safely and legally.

Benefits of choosing a professional breaker:

• ✅ Legal and environmentally friendly disposal

• ✅ Quick and fair quotes

• ✅ Payment made promptly

• ✅ Reusable parts recycled to reduce waste

How to Get the Best Scrap Price for Your Car

If you’re looking to scrap your car in Kent, here’s how to maximise its value:

2. Keep your V5C logbook – you’ll need it for the transfer.
